Abstract
This document updates the specification of the component matching
rules for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and X.500
directories (draft-legg-ldapext-component-matching-xx.txt) by
collecting the Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) definitions of
the component matching rules into an appropriately identified ASN.1
module so that other specifications may reference the component

matching rule definitions from within their own ASN.1 modules.
1. Introduction
The structure or data type of data held in an attribute of a
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) [LDAP] or X.500 [X500]
directory is described by the attribute's syntax. Attribute syntaxes
range from simple data types, such as text string, integer, or
boolean, to complex data types, for example, the syntaxes of the
directory schema operational attributes. RFC XXXX [CMR] defines a
generic way of matching user selected components in a directory
attribute value of any arbitrarily complex attribute syntax.
This document updates RFC XXXX by collecting the Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1) [ASN1] definitions of RFC XXXX into an
appropriately identified ASN.1 module so that other specifications
may reference these definitions from within their own ASN.1 modules.

The InformationFramework ASN.1 module from which the MATCHING-RULE
and RelativeDistinguishedName definitions are imported is defined in
X.501 [X501].
The object identifiers used in this document have been assigned for
use in specifying the component matching rules by Adacel
Technologies, under an arc assigned to Adacel by Standards Australia.
3. Security Considerations
This document collects together the ASN.1 definitions of the
component matching rules into an ASN.1 module, but does not modify
those definitions in any way. See RFC XXXX [CMR] for the security
considerations of using the component matching rules.
